Biden could have decided not to run at any point. Many people were calling for him not to run and he didn't suddenly become an 80 year old.

Biden waited until after the primaries to step down. I'm glad he's gone, but "she was the only choice" because of Biden's choice.

You can't tell progressives "Vote in the primaries!" when you don't even hold primaries.

Just because you didn't pay attention to the primaries, doesn't mean they didn't happen.

There were primaries, and even a few jackasses who ran against Biden. They didn't win. Biden did. Then the debate happened and every media org out there focused on the "Biden old" narrative until he was forced to drop out.

Then the Republicans start pretending that we need to redo the primaries because Harris didn't have top billing on the ballot that she was on. Because they're racist and misogynistic jackasses who argue in bad faith.
